Trump: If Iran doesnt FULLY OPEN, WITHOUT THREAT, the Strait of Hormuz, within 48 HOURS from this exact point in time, the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various POWER PLANTS, STARTING WITH THE BIGGEST ONE FIRST! Thank you for your attention to this matter.

(81,080 posts)You don't announce ahead of time the date and location of a combat operation.
All of this is obviously kept secret to protect planes and crews.

(81,080 posts)Yes I imagine, all branches of the service may be required in that combat operation.
Navy, Marines, Army, USAF for air support, etc.
Right Trump would have announced he was landing on Normandy beach, time, date, location.
Hitler would have moved all of his troops from Europe to be at the spot in time to stop
the Allies. We might have lost WWII. We certainly would have seen our troops slaughtered.

(721 posts)The enablers he's surrounded himself with allow him to issue illegal orders on social media without holding him accountable. Then fall all over themselves to make unvetted actions happen that lead to catastrophic failures.
